There&#8217;s no shortage of mighty jumps, but in most cases, they are followed by scary corrections. Having said that, we should note that this sort of behavior is not that uncommon for a triple zero penny stock. What is unusual, however, is the volume which, over the last couple of weeks in particular, has been rather impressive. <\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, for example, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=EPAZ\">EPAZ<\/a> managed to shift more than $750 thousand worth of stock. The ticker opened the session with a gap up at $0.0007, ran to an intraday high of $0.0011, but failed to sustain the pressure. It closed the day at $0.0005 which is around 28% below Wednesday&#8217;s close. Clearly, there&#8217;s lots of people putting their money on the line, but what is all the commotion about?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=EPAZ\">EPAZ<\/a> went through a small promotional campaign last month. When we say &#8220;<em>small<\/em>&#8220;, we mean it. Only Penny Stock Prophecy and Gold Medal Penny Stocks took part in the pump and they received a grand total of $700 for their efforts. Nevertheless, they did manage to lure in some traders and, with the help of a few optimistic press releases, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=EPAZ\">EPAZ<\/a> made it onto the list of the most heavily traded tickers in Pennyland. The question is: &#8220;<em>Will it manage to perform under pressure?<\/em>&#8220;. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re about to find out, but now is probably the right moment to mention that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=EPAZ\">EPAZ<\/a> isn&#8217;t really the typical triple-zero company.<\/p>\n<p>They have been around for quite some time, they have several operating subsidiaries, and they are generating revenues. The latest 10-Q covers the period ended September 30, 2013 and it sports the following figures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cash: $43 thousand<\/li>\n<li>current assets: $127 thousand<\/li>\n<li>current liabilities: $1 million<\/li>\n<li>quarterly revenues: $156 thousand<\/li>\n<li>quarterly net loss: $585 thousand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The fact that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=EPAZ\">EPAZ<\/a> is an operating, revenue generating entity, coupled with the affordable price, could lure in some investors. What&#8217;s more, the press releases coming out of the company HQ sound mightily exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, for example, they announced that they&#8217;re in the middle of negotiating the acquisition of an unnamed help desk software company which should add around 15% to the recurring revenue stream. The PR articles from a couple of weeks ago sound just as promising. Before you get too excited, however, you should probably consider one more thing &#8211; dilution.<\/p>\n<p>Between December 2012 and November 2013, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=EPAZ\">EPAZ<\/a> issued nearly 2.3 billion shares. A major part of them saw the light of day as a conversion of debt and there&#8217;s still plenty of notes waiting to be turned into common stock at some tasty discounts.<\/p>\n<p>The more forward-looking investors will probably argue that (as the press releases would have you believe) the revenues should increase which could give <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=EPAZ\">EPAZ<\/a> a better chance of surviving the dilution and they might just turn out to be right. Then again, the latest 10-Q shows that the quarterly revenues have decreased by as much as 49% year-over-year which isn&#8217;t a good sign.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the fact that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=EPAZ\">EPAZ<\/a> is having problems getting out of the triple-zero levels shows that the severe dilution is crippling the stock. Only time will tell if this is about to change.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right; margin: 3px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/3SUTI.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"3SUTI.png\" title=\"3SUTI.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SUTI\">SUTI<\/a>MCo International Inc (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SUTI\">SUTI<\/a>) is another sub-penny ticker that failed to impress during yesterday&#8217;s session.
